phpbb

Seems like Drupal's menu link to phpBB's inbox is broken. phpbb.module contains the following:

'path' => $phpbbcfg['path_rel'].'inbox'

However, in phpBB 3 the inbox is @ ucp.php?i=pm&folder=inbox and not in /inbox. Consequently I've tried to use the following:

'path' => $phpbbcfg['path_rel'].'ucp.php?i=pm&folder=inbox'

...but it seems like this variable is passed through html_specialchars or a similar routine later, so that won't work either. It looks like this (not sure how it will pan out in this post but essentially ? and & are not what they need to be. ;)

Hi everyone,

I have tried everything I know to get the bypass to work but I am really having a hard time. What I usually write is this : http://www.mydomain.com/mydrupal/myforum/ucp.php?bypass=true. That brings me to the phpbb login page but as soon as I am done entering my username and password and pressing LOGIN, I am sent back to drupal. What I have in my .htaccess for the login is this :

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^mode=login(.*)$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^bypass=true(.*)$
RewriteRule ^ucp.php(.*)$ ../user/login [L]

I'm new to phpbb and Drupal integration. I've come across both the phpbb module and the phpBBforum Integration module. Can anyone compare these two modules? Are they complimentary or two ways of doing the same thing?

Fresh install this time with Drupal 5.7 and stabile release of phpBB3 forum.

First time i had problems with sequences.
This can be easy done like this:

connect with database:
~ $ psql drupal_db

To view sequence tables:
drupal_db=> \ds

And there i found sequence table that i looking for
drupal_db=> SELECT * FROM drupal_users_uid_seq;

First have to restart it
drupal_db=> ALTER SEQUENCE drupal_users_uid_seq RESTART WITH 1000;
and than fix minimal value

I've spent a few hours this past week cleaning up the module and made new tarballs, it still needs some testing but I will probably try it on a production domain tonight. The main change is really that the code is more tidy and only uses session keys rather than autologin cookies, but the update also makes it possible to access Drupal's user profiles. I think it's also good enough to start the work on Drupal 6.x. Some of SpectralDart's work will have to be redone, but the clean up was worth it.

Here is what has changed:

I installed phpbb module. (drupal 5.3 and phpbb3)
If I change a password in phpbb profile, it doesn't works in drupal.
if drupal admin deletes a user in drupal, that user doesn't work any longer, because I have to log from drupal; but if I try to create again that username, it says

• I login in Drupal.
• I click on forum link and enter the phpbb forum, where i'm correctly logged in.
• I click on Logout in the phpbb forum: i get "Page not found" in Drupal.

I also had another problem with redirects, described here, which I paste here too, if it can be useful:
"Forum stuff" block shows 3 links: private messages, unread topics, unread posts. Links to topics and posts work, but "private messages" links to a "forum/inbox" which doesn't exist. But inbox exists, I can use it from the forum.

I really love this module and how basic things like registrations, logins and avatars are shared between phpBB and Drupal. But I think it would be great if the connection could be taken a step further. Let's use this thread to discuss how this module could be used to connect phpBB and Drupal in more advanced, customized ways.

I installed phpbb3 and phpbb module.

"Forum stuff" block shows 3 links: private messages, unread topics, unread posts. Links to topics and posts work, but "private messages" links to a "forum/inbox" which doesn't exist. But inbox exists, I can use it from the forum.

Why?

Hello.

I need an help this thing: I wuold like to use phpBB forum in drupal.
Actually I've an installed phpbb 3 forum with 2500 user already registered and a fresh multisite drupal installation (this means I've two separate databases: one for phpbb and other for drupal)

My idea is:

• import phpbb user on drupal : think the arkepp's script can do it (the problem seems user already registered in phpbb needs to reset/change their password again)

Hi,

I have integrated phpbb3 and drupal 5.3. When I enables "Recent Forum Topics", it is not working for anonymous users. It is displaying a blank block. I looked into the phpbb_block_0 code in phpbb.module but I couldnt get it working. Could someone help me out please?

You can visit my website and see it yourself.

Thanks in advance,
Nithin.

Hi,
I have just installed Drupal 5.7 and phpBB3 and followed all instructions. I am logged in as new user and can go to phpbb and am also logged in there....so that works. Everything else seems to work except when i click on "Profile" it comes up with this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_form_key() in /home/precon/public_html/test/forum/includes/ucp/ucp_profile.php on line 306

Any idea what i have missed?

Hello,

is there any possible way to just manually put each phpBB user into the drupal user table? I only have around 100 phpBB users that I need to convert to drupal - but I would be fine to just do it manually. My only problem is that in phpBB everything is encoded - and I can't just copy and paste. Other then manually converting - any other ideas?

I am using the latest version of phpBB and Drupal.

Thanks,

Christian

Hello everybody,

starting from three days ago we started to have strange problem in our site (http://ingeinfopa.netsons.org). I noticed the following error:

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/netsons.org/ingeinfopa/includes/common.inc:354) in /var/www/netsons.org/ingeinfopa/modules/phpbb/phpbb.module nella riga 97.

without any reason! I mean, we didn't do anything on the server so we don't know which would be the problem. We tried to disable and reenable the phpbb module and we noticed another error in the log system:

Hi Folks,

I managed to follow http://drupal.i1media.no/drupal+phpbb/install_module however I still cant get the user logged in phpbb3.0 after I logged in the drupal 5.7 page.

I am now at this point..
Create a new user and test
Go back to Drupal's frontpage and create a new user. Login as this user, the go to the forum. Check that the user is logged in, also after requesting several pages. If not, see the troubleshooting section.

Just to add, I have successfully created a user in the drupal page.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

Please dont mind me writing a new post. I got through a lot of phpbb issues and I thought it's only fair to write a new post for my new issue.

I installed phpbb. It's all working fine. The only problem I have now is that I cant login into phpbb.

1. When I login into Drupal and try accessing the forum, I will get the login page of phpbb.

2. When I click login directly at phpbb/forum, I get the login page of drupal.

I know that they both are now connected but I cant get this one thing working. Please help me.

It just occurred to me that there may be an issue if someone tries to register the username "phpbb" (or whatever the superuser for phpBB is), because registrations are handled through Drupal. Surely it'd work for Drupal but when the module tries to create a duplicate account for phpBB I'm sure there would be some problem. I haven't tested it out yet though, so maybe there's already a fix for this.

Hi all,

I am new here. Please forgive me if this is not the area to post the phpbb issue that I have.
I am trying to integrate phpbb3 with Drupal 5.3. I have installed phpbb3 now. It went through fine.

Now, I am not able to see the phpbb module on drupal settings. I have enabled it. I tried thrice.
The process I followed was,

1. Downloaded phpbb module from http://drupal.i1media.no/downloads/phpbb_latest.tar.gz
2. Unzipped it and copied the folder to drupal module.
3. Enabled the module

After this,

Hi there, I've been setting up this module and so far all the important bits have gone perfectly to plan. However when I enable the recent forum topics block I get the following error:
warning: Wrong parameter count for strrpos() in /home/content/c/a/r/carabusonline/html/drupal/sites/all/modules/phpbb/phpbb.module on line 662.

Most of the topics display properly, but one is displayed as an elipsis (...). I don't really understand what this bit of the code is doing. But the title it can't display is:
unidentified Carabus from Kyoto Japan.

Drupal 5.6
phpBB 3 rc5

Many thanks

When I try to gone to "phpBBforum settings" in Drupal, I get this warning: call_user_func_array(): First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'phpbbforum_admin_settings' was given in /hsphere/local/home/drupal/ubercart.drupal.no/includes/form.inc on line 218.

I have tried to followed this guide "\phpbbforum-5.x-1.x-dev\phpbbforum\contrib\phpbbdrupal\install.xml" Waht to do now?
I'm using Drupal 5.7 and phpBB3
